The Search for Myself - Part III

If you look at it carefully, Natural Selection is a very beautiful thing. Its beauty lies in the fact that it causes constant change. It is a law. Laws are good because they help us to understand things systematically as against abstract concepts and whacky ideas that don't conform to logic. The law of Natural Selection states that under a constraint of limited resources and a growing population, members of the new population are decided based purely on their merit of fitness. In other words, the law says that only the fittest survive. You don't need a whole branch of science to understand that. Natural Selection doesn't require a driving force to be implemented. It just applies itself without any effort while being consistent and without being partial to anybody or any object. It is an absolute law. It is what I call a universal law. Very basic in nature and unchangeable.

There are other such laws. Another one is the law that says that all material things have finite lives. That’s a simple one too. Matak and I have had an interesting conversation on its validity. One only needs to look around oneself to see the absolute validity of the law. Very simple but very unchangeable. One comes to a quick conclusion that everything in the world is material so everything must have a finite life.. everything must end. That’s true. SOME things are not material. Those things, according to our law, will not end.. they will continue to remain forever. But we'll come to a description those infinite things later.
